New Year Al Mansour Dhow Cruise
Gourmet Buffet • Open Bar • Fireworks Views
Looking for a more luxurious and memorable New Year's Eve in Dubai? The New Year VIP Cruise Dubai is an exciting alternative to crowded clubs and conventional parties. Bring in the New Year aboard a beautifully decorated Arabian dhow in Dubai Marina, under the stars.
The crew makes guests feel festive from the moment they arrive, with complimentary refreshments, unlimited soft drinks, excellent food, entertainment, music and sweeping views of Dubai's lights on the water. It's a cruise full of Arabian flair and a genuine party atmosphere — perfect for an Arabian New Year's Eve celebration.
There's an elegant air-conditioned space on the lower deck and an open-air space on the upper deck overlooking the skyline. The menu blends local and international cuisine with mouth-watering desserts, plus a special New Year cake at midnight. The cruise also offers a free premium bar. On the water, guests still get to see iconic Dubai sights such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, Ain Dubai and JBR. Different deck tiers let you choose the experience that suits you.
Each deck is priced and booked separately. Rates are subject to change with date, timing and availability.
Each deck offers a different experience and set of amenities. Choose the tier that fits your New Year's Eve style.
Make your reservation before the holiday season gets hectic and before the New Year rush. Advance bookings help you secure the deck you want and avoid last-minute prices, since rates increase as December draws near.
Return transfer times depend on traffic and guest location. Pick-up or drop-off may not be possible in areas affected by road closures after 4:00 PM.
Tickets are sold on a dynamic basis — prices may rise when demand is high and availability is limited. From the last minute until 31 December, prices can get significantly higher and seats become scarce. Book well in advance to avoid price changes and limited availability.
